Why Hamlet in 2019?

What do you do when you realize everything you know may be wrong?  What do you do when loved ones betray you?  What can a citizen do when the government systematically covers up wrong-doing?  Where can one go to reliably determine truth?  These are not only Prince Hamlet’s dilemmas in the 17th century; they are ours in the 21st. How do we find our way out of the ancient (and contemporary) cycles of revenge and annihilation? 

About Will Kempe’s Players Cooperative

Now in its third season, Will Kempe’s Players Cooperative stages Shakespeare’s plays in a manner that echoes the stagecraft of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As such, WKP productions tour exclusively, playing everywhere from traditional theaters and outdoor stages to park groves and other “found” spaces.  The performers share common space and lighting with the audience, using evocative text, props and scenery to engage the audience directly. WKP productions feature rich costumes, expert swordplay, music, dance, and clear story-telling.
